RE: [DON'T SHOUT IN HEADINGS, PLEASE] Advanced UPnP search (instead of retagging)
The search functionality of the lumin app may work well. However, this will always work just with the lumin app, but not with any other of the available control points. UPnP search is the more generic and more powerful concept.

I think that a search functionality is essential especially for large libraries in the case when one already exactly knows the track he wants to listen to. On the other hand, an intelligent browsing tree (like MinimServer provides) is essential for comfortably exploring the library. Both these features would perfectly complement each other in the most generic way.

A search functionality is what one intuitively expects when managing big data sets/libraries and it is what most users are used to from regular software media players (WMP, winamp, itunes, ...). I'm convinced that there would be more requests for UPnP search if more users would even realize that there is the possibiliy of searching in the context of UPnP and how well it could work (for example with the combination of twonky and BubbleUPnP/BubbleDS).
